摘要

目的信息和通信技术的广泛使用对各种群体和社区产生了重大影响,包括微型、小型和中型企业及其所有者/管理者。本研究旨在分析最近关于中小微企业采用信通技术的文献。此外,它试图在中小微企业传播信息和通信技术的更广泛背景下定位性别。设计/方法/方法使用主题分析方法,回顾了2011年至2019年期间发表的与六种主要期刊有关的信息和通信、性别和创业的研究文章。研究结果为该研究选择的文献分为两个主要类别进行了讨论,即“为商业目的采用信息和通信技术促进发展(ICT4D)”和“中小微企业对ICT4D使用中的性别问题的见解”。“研究局限性/含义信息和通信技术使用的上下文依赖性可以使未来的企业家能够评估特定业务领域中特定信息和通信科技的范围。信通技术的性别性质有助于评估和质疑信通技术的赋权潜力。该研究强调,在了解中小微企业女企业家获得、采用和使用ICT4D方面,需要考虑到历史的特殊性和跨国联系。独创性/价值该研究将中小微企业使用信通技术促进发展和发展的文献以及性别在信通技术介导的创业环境中的作用联系在一起。在揭示这种环境中权力动态的相互作用的同时,还指出了未来在挖掘信息交流内容和探索“互联网黑暗面”对中小微企业女性企业家的影响方面的研究空间。

Understanding the gendered nature of developing country MSMEs’ access, adoption and use of information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D)
Purpose The widespread use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has had a significant effect on various groups and communities of people including micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and their owners/managers. The current study aims to analyze recent literature regarding adoption of ICTs by MSMEs. Further, it tries to locate gender within this broader context of diffusion of ICTs among MSMEs. Design/methodology/approach Using the thematic analysis approach, the research articles pertaining to six leading journals on ICTs, gender and entrepreneurship published during the time period from 2011 to 2019 are reviewed. Findings The literature selected for the study has been discussed under two primary categories, viz. “adoption of information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D) for business purposes” and “insights on gender in ICT4D use by MSMEs.” Research limitations/implications The context-dependent nature of ICT use can enable future entrepreneurs to assess the scope of specific ICTs in given areas of operation. The gendered nature of ICTs helps to evaluate as well as question the empowerment potential of ICTs. The study emphasizes the need to account for historical specificities and transnational linkages in understanding access, adoption and use of ICT4D by women MSME entrepreneurs. Originality/value The study bridges together literature on ICT4D use by MSMEs and the role of gender in ICT-mediated entrepreneurial environments. While unraveling the interplay of power dynamics in such environments, the scope for future research in terms of tapping into the content of information exchanges and exploring the implications of “dark side of internet” for women MSME entrepreneurs is also indicated.
